Chapter 356 - Agatha (54) (2/2)

That was how the Borley family were swayed into this plot. Since the Pope himself was backing them, they felt they had nothing to fear.

However, in reality, the royals had no such thing. No awesome bloodline or sleeping power. It was all a sham, a poisonous trap.

The ascended angels from the stone age period had long vanquished that nefarious clan. So how could there be any descendants left to pass off that accursed bloodline?

Unfortunately, the Borley family didn't know, and even though some intelligent royal members had felt that something was wrong, the King himself was very stubborn due to his old age and ailing body. With the latter insisting, the plans were carried out. Marian's brother had been one of the casualties. Yet even though the ceremony was done perfectly, despite the sacrifice of so many people from the royals' side, everything was for naught as no Nephil was successfully born. The King almost died even. If anything, all they earned from the ordeal was an embarrassment and their regime becoming weaker than ever before.

What happened to the Gallagher family?

He had not checked yet. But assuming they had escaped the Goddess' wrath, since the people who carried out their schemes long volunteered to cut ties with the family for the sake of the family, they must not have suffered much damage. Only some minor retaliation from the weakened royal family.

Today, the Church of Wisdom was still operating just fine. In fact, before he entered the gigantic library, he had actually bumped into the Pope in his invisible state. As long as this dude was alive, he guessed no real harm would come to the foundation of that clan.

He was not one to care though. As long as Margarette and Agatha were left alone, he wouldn't come to trouble the Gallagher family.

And oh, before he forgot, the leads were involved as well in this matter. Their trip got delayed by their discovery of the royal's secret.

When they tried their best to stop the so-called ceremony only to find out later that their meddling was not needed at all, it had been quite epic. Their moods must be very complicated, especially Adam and Marian.

He wondered, were they feeling pain from letting the chance to be heroes slipped through their fingers? Or just awkward because the royal family they feared turned out to be such a joke?

A slight smile appeared on his face while strolling past the rows of bookshelves.

'Host, your mood seems to be very good this day.' The system commented after observing him for a while.

'Well, I think it's the same as yesterday?' he replied. 'It's you who are idle, how about you do something useful once in a while?'

The childish voice wanted to say that he didn't have even a single point, but held back its imaginary tongue in case the host was offended.

'As expected…' Hearing him purposely left hanging his sentence, it felt down. No one in this universe was more aware of Jiang Li's impression of the system more than the system itself.

After successfully getting into the deepest part of the library, Jiang Li expertly unlocked boxes after boxes of materials. He transferred the hidden records from those containers into his own bag. The whole process took quite a while.

An hour after, he could be seen joining the busy street in front of the church. The sun was so bright and the place was full of vitality. He couldn't help but let out a sigh and look around more.

Another hour later, he was no longer in the capital. He was not worried that Margarette would be bullied since he knew she would also leave once she heard about his appearance in the neighboring city.
